My buddy sent me some paint pics today. They are doing some things that they don't really need to like the front support and such due to seeing some scuffing from the hood weather stripping rubbing over time. They took the door off to paint too so I was pleased with that. I'm happy they are taking their time and consideration with it. Most times you don't get that with insurance claims because it's all about quick and easy to make the most money.

Its nice when there are car enthusiasts that see the amount of work you put in and go the extra mile to see it back to its former glory.

Well I got some progress pics this morning. I guess they painted the under side of everything off the car but bolted everything back on to do the outside to blend the paint in with the rest of the car. Now I see more where the 8k repair job comes from. I told them they should have just painted the whole damn car at this point lol.

Well I picked up the car yesterday! Couldn't be happier with the job they did. Flawless. First thing I did when I pulled in the driveway is rip my headlights and continue on my retros lol. I got the cut off lines lined up last night and buttoned em up this morning. And ofcourse it's pouring rain so I can't take any pics yet

Nah it gets garage pampered. Always haha.

Forever will I hate how our headlights will never match up with the bumper and hood. One side fits pretty decent, the other fits like crap. Intercooler pushing on the bumper doesn't help anything either. Ugh. Perhaps a spring project to try and fix for the perfectionist in me lol.

I never had that issue on my car.

I also never removed my front bumper or anything, so she is still factory fresh in that aspect.
